Hikaru Sulu was a Human Starfleet officer in the 23rd century. He served as the helmsman aboard the USS Enterprise.

[edit] Biography

According to his dossier at the official Star Trek movie website, Sulu was top of his class in astrosciences and advanced botany and founded Starfleet Academy's European Swordsmanship club. As with his prime timeline counterpart, he is listed as having been born in San Francisco.

Sulu took over at the helm of the USS Enterprise because the originally-assigned helmsmen, McKenna, was ill. As the fleet went to warp on its maiden voyage, Sulu forgot to disengage the external inertial dampener, leaving the Enterprise in Earth orbit for several moments as the rest of the fleet jumped away. Though embarrassing, the extra time afforded by this delay caused the Enterprise to enter the Vulcan system after Nero's assault had destroyed the rest of the fleet.

Sulu participated in a space-dive along with James T. Kirk and Chief Engineer Olson to disable Nero's drilling rig as it drilled to the core of Vulcan. He was a skilled fencer and used his training and a retractable sword to fight Romulans on the drilling platform, saving Kirk from a potentially fatal attack by of the one of the Romulans. Subsequently, Kirk endeavors to return the favor, diving into a free fall to save a falling Sulu. (Star Trek)
